Bring name change on retirement back

[Banok]

not just because if I make a char named banok_xbow then retire and switch to 2h its annoying, but also one of the things I like in crpg is roleplaying characters. honestly dont bother with RP in other games but I like to think of fun characters with fun names, and RP characters like the_black_knight_of_ni.

so if I want to make a char called The_Spanish_Inquisition and wear a red robe and shout in chat "No one expect the spanish inquisition!" when I kill someone.... I have to make a brand new character rather than just retire one of my existing characters. this really sucks.

I'd say make it optional when retiring.

[Banok]

ofc course optional, forced named changing was silly cause everyone just went name_III

[Camaris]

no i  love it. people have to stick with their name forever.
because of this i dont have to mute idiots mutltiple times

[UrLukur]

Yeah, bring name change back (optional)!

not just because if I make a char named banok_xbow

Who would take a stupid name like that anyway.

This would remove the need to even have a name changing option for X amount of gold, because you can retire at level 15.

Unless you are implying the name change would only take place at 31, then... well, I'm not really sure... hmm...

No, the mute is lost as soon as either of you leave the server.

Another reason to have this, if you ask me.  Nobody has to sit and stare at a list of name change requests any more.

please do it !
i created a char named ITA_Sabino to prank my clanmates when you could change name so i was sure to change it one day.
Now all i can do is change the tag but i feel a bit tard with that nickname even if i'm awesome .
Do it and i give you +1 awesomeness every day

I actually preferred the name_III thing much more than just spotting retiring people because they suddenly have crappy gear. Furthermore, it looks more like an acheivement when you can show your gen number to everybody    Those nicknames with "the_3rd" "III" "3" or whatever form of modification where really nicer than keeping the same unflavoured name all the time. I think it's silly to automatically keep the same name after you retire. Let's have the choice.

Namechange on retirement is actually planned, but alas, it's somewhere in the deeps of the todo list.

+1 for you brave and quick responsive donkey !

PLEASE allow name change!

I am a casual player, and it took me many months to get to gen2.  I wanted to change my name, however, to reflect a new play style and use an old handle that my friends will recognize.  I had to make a new char, because my name change was denied.  I lost my heirloom, and my gen xp bonus.  That is ridiculous, no?  Please, please allow name changes.  Such a simple request...such a strict rule...

If there are name changes in this manner I feel they should be optional. Having a number after your name is fine I guess, but my name is long enough as it is and I don't feel it necessary to show everyone what generation I am all the time.

Yay! I was tired of adding II III IV to my name when you had to create a new alt for retiring and started just making random names. Then you couldn't change your name anymore....
